Interesting idea. How does comp.binaries.eightbit sound. Great for all
8 bit machines (does that include 68008 & 8088 :-) :-), i.e. C64/C128,
CP/M, TRS Co-Co, Atari 400/800 etc. (nat. semic. sc/mp, cosmac 1802,
M6800, intel 8008 and others :-). And we keep it for EVERYTHING - source
binaries, data. I know it'll be a real mess, but why not go for broke,
and throw everything in (including the kitchen sink) first time out.
